Background: Flat foot or excessive pronation causes altered biomechanics of lower limb which leads to excessive mobility which puts increased stress on the plantar fascia. It has been found out that there is significant atrophy of foot intrinsic muscles in people with plantar fasciitis. Foot intrinsic muscle training is commonly used to control the excessive pronation. Studies have been done to know the effect of Foot intrinsic muscle training in normal subjects but no study is available in people with plantar fasciitis.

A cross sectional study on the prevalence of bovine Fasciolosis was carried out in selected dairy farms of in and around Addis Abeba of Ethiopia, aiming at determining the prevalence of fasciolosis. The farms are found in four sub-cities, locally called Kifile Ketemas. The dairy farms were under intensive and semi-intensive management systems. A total of 384 cattle were randomly selected and sampled which accounts for 95% (N=365) and 5% (N=19) of the samples for intensive and semi-intensive dairy farms, respectively.

Introduction: A radical surgery of spine metastases is not possible in many cases, especially by elder multimorbid patients. The specialness and possibilities the Cavity/Coblation-method in the operative treatment of 262 patients with spine metastases are here presented.
Materials and Methods: Patients of every age with vertebral destructions caused by spinal metastases were treated.

Objectives: The mean blood loss with sublingual misoprostol was 152.88±61.44ml, average To compare sublingual misoprostol 400 mcg with intramuscular oxytocin 10 IU, in the active management of third stage of labour.

Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent used in the treatment of respiratory disorders associated with viscid or excessive mucus. In addition, Bromhexine has antioxidant properties. Bromhexine is intended to support the body's mechanisms for clearing mucus from the respiratory tract. The present study is to develop and validate a suitable RP-HPLC method for simultaneous estimation of Bromhexine and Sulbactam in pharmaceutical dosage forms in accordance with the ICH guidelines. Altima C18 (150 x 4.6 mm, 5mm) column was selected as the stationary phase.

Action rules are based on congruent predicaments and strategies that can be triggered when possible transitions of objects occur from one stage to another. This study presents a new way of implementing actionable discoveries in regards to object-driven approaches. To manifest usefulness of this new strategy in clinics, experiments were carried out in a new algorithmic database system in support of diagnoses of patients with liver disorders.

A root with an open apex is often used to describe an exceptionally wide apical foramen, in which preparation of an apical stop is difficult, if not impossible to achieve. In an open apex, it is imperative to limit the MTA placement within the confines of root canal for predictable healing. The placement of an internal matrix may limit the extrusion of MTA to some extent. Enhancement of the regenerative process of human body by utilizing the patient’s own blood is a unique concept in dentistry. Platelet rich fibrin (PRF) is coming up as a biological revolution in dental field.

Introduction: The aim of this paper is to present new approach for nicotine dependence treatment with Cytisine (Tabex) and to compare it to the dosage regimen, prescribed by the manufacturer.

It is common to discover that many patients admitted into the hospital for certain pathological or physiological disorders would end up manifesting one infectious disorder or another.
